Setting up a dummy SSL certificate for developing...

[Curt_C [MVP]]

I just use a switch in the web.config
Otherwise if you have Win2003 you have a built in Cert Server to generate
your own (this is also available on other server OS's). We just generate our
own for the test/dev environments.

There is a tool in the IIS resource kit called SelfSSL that will allow you
to create certificates. You can get the resource kit here:

Hi:

Is there any way I can setup a test SSL certificate on my development
machine? My host requires I change URL's to start with https, but creates
extra work because development machine doesn't support them.

thanks,
charlie

if you have .net framework you can use the latest version of makecert.exe
